did not help. the suggested answer seems to focus on pinned entries. and is for win 7. i have xp pro. the list under my network places was build for me. (i think) i assume that it contains allshared folders on my internal home network. 2 laptops - 1 vista, 1 xp pro, 1 desktop xp pro, and network printers, dvd, sound system and misc stuff. i haven't done much on these help forums. do i submit my request for help in the right place and in the right way?

Not sure if you still need help.I would just delete them.If there are in my network places you can right click and delete them.They get added on automatically as you map drives and explore your network.If I helped let me know!
